Your immune system is practically your gut
70-80% of your immune system lives in your gut. There is a symbiotic relationship between your immune cells and beneficial bacteria. When that’s interrupted, inflammation and autoimmune diseases happen.
The epithelial layer of the gut, aka the gut barrier, is lined with immune cells that act like guards ready to ward off harmful pathogens while allowing the good guys in.
When your gut microbiome gets out of wack, meaning you have more bad than good bacteria, the immune system gets compromised and all hell breaks loose. Literally, the intestinal lining gets “leaky” with holes and toxins start to enter the bloodstream.
What this all basically translates to is that much like the gut-brain connection, the gut-immune-system connection is equally important and boosting your body’s defense system also means loving on your gut!
